My toddler gets a little turned around sometimes. If he doesn't physically see me leave a room, sometimes he panics. I watch from the landing of my stairs above as my child goes from room to room... shouting, "Mommy, Mommy! Where are you?!" I will yell "Here I am." from above and he won't look up. Sometimes he can't seem to tell that I am right there.
"Here I am!"
I find myself searching too. Searching for purpose. Answers. Forgiveness. Freedom.
"Here I am."
A woman of faith pointed me to Revelation 3:20. The first three words are so simple... yet they completely represent God reaching out to us.
"Here I am."
Sometimes I look desperately.... in all the wrong places. Sometimes I don't bother to look up even when I hear Him calling me. So here's to giving up looking around.... and looking up instead.
Revelation 3:20
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
Lord, I will lift my eyes. I raise my heart and soul to You in complete surrender. Thank you for waiting as I stumbled. Thank you for answering as I searched.
